Raise Your Spirit (and paddle) for District 67 Students

More Than Ever, Students Cherish Their Time In School. Join this virtual event to see how your support enhances their education!

The Spirit of 67 Foundation is hosting its first virtual fundraiser May 3-6, 2021. "Raise Your Spirit" is a virtual paddle raise and auction that features videos with glimpses inside the District 67 school buildings during this extraordinary school year. Messaging from the schools' principals emphasize how the Spirit of 67's enhancements have aided learning since the Foundation's inception in 1985 and especially through the unprecedented necessities of this school year. The virtual event will culminate on Thursday, May 6th when, like a time-capsule, a video expressing student experiences will be premiered. At last, candid and unscripted, hear the students tell "what [they] liked about this school year and what made this year hard."

A carefully curated selection of auction items will also be available for interested bidders. Items range from vacations to invaluable school experiences for students and parents! Additionally, The Spirit of 67 has partnered with Francesca's Intimo and Sunset Foods to offer a family-friendly in-home dining experience on May 6th. Pre-orders are available through May 4th.

The mission of the Spirit of 67 Foundation is to raise funds and acquire resources to provide enriching, educational and cultural experiences for the students, parents, faculty and staff of Lake Forest School District 67 that might not otherwise be provided.
